Would it be a good idea to list " for external use only " or " avoid contact with eyes " or something of that nature--seems like it could help with liability possibly. Comments?

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2000 Report Share Posted September 27, 2000 Dolores, Since I do not know what exactly e-wax is I cannot reference it with respect to any comedogenicity data that I have. While I can't place my hands on my files on comedogenicity my recollection is that cocoa butter is very comedogenic but beeswax is not. You can always test the materials yourself by applying them to the inner ear of a rabbit for nine days. Then sacrifice the rabbit and cut off its ears. Prepare microscopic slides of the tissue and look for indications of comedogenicity. You must leave one ear on each rabbit as a control.
